RENEWING THE ANARCHIST TRADITION conference
September 23-25, 2005, at Goddard College

The Renewing the Anarchist Tradition (RAT) conference,
sponsored by the Institute for Anarchist Studies, aims
to provide a scholarly space in which to both
reexamine and reinvigorate the social and political
tradition of anarchism.

It's criminal. From what you're hearing, the people trapped in New Orleans are nothing but looters. We're told we should be more "neighborly." But nobody talked about being neighborly until after the people who could afford to leave -- left.

"I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family and they say we are looting, you see a white family and they say they are looking for food. And, you know, its been five days because most of the people ARE black ... We already realize a lot of the people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way. And now they've given them permission to go down and shoot us. George Bush doesn't care about black people." -- Kanye West
